This podcast is a DVD commentary of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. It will probably be funner to listen to it while watching the movie, but hopefully we've made it fun enough (and you've seen the most popular Star Trek movie enough) that it can be enjoyed without the visual accompaniment. This is also a "simul-podcast" with The Jon Madsen Movie Commentary Podcast

It's okay to cry.

Not too much of a sense to lay out the show rundown. Pretty much all of it is the commentary.

Likelihood of the events of this movie happening: 11,718,750,000,000 to one.

Comments/corrections: I think toward the end we wondered why they couldn't beam the Genesis away from the Reliant and shut it off manually. Well, thinking about in now, it seems like David says to Kirk that it couldn't be shut off, so that solves that. But then again, what poor sap were they planning on getting to activate the Genesis Device without getting totally nuked because he couldn't get away in time?

And thus we begin the movie franchise with Star Trek: The Motion Picture (yes, thanks for actually informing us that it's a movie)!

Discussion of ST:TMP does not begin, however, without first wrapping up the original series with a list of awards that frankly and obviously weren't worked on very hard (but were still plenty humorous (or not -- maybe you just had to be there)).

Joining the talk about ST:TMP is our buddy Pete, whom you may recognize as the guy who went with Jon to the Star Trek Experience. Somehow, being on the podcast counted toward his community service.

Okay, fine. That was a lame set of rankings since we only officially discussed one movie. To be fair, Jon said ST:TMP was his sixth favorite Star Trek movie, Pete said it was his third favorite and J.R. said it was his second favorite (he's seen two).

Corrections/errors: There was a point where Jon said that we've been recording for an hour and 20 minutes when it was an hour and 40 minutes into the podcast. This can be explained by the fact that we (very obviously) recorded the first segment of random TOS awards after we recorded the discussion about the movie.

This podcast is dedicated in loving memory to Persis Khambatta (1950-1998).

It saddens us that this is our last original series podcast, but it should gladden you that we supersized it! We present well over two hours of JRWSTftft this time around. Included is our take on the last four episodes plus our best/worst picks of Season 3, PLUS our best/worst TOS picks of all time!

Jon is the one who said he was sick, but that's J.R. who's got the sniffles.

the point of this

J.R. used to make fun of Jon for watching Star Trek. Now J.R. has agreed to watch Star Trek from the very beginning so that he can objectively continue to make fun of Jon. Will he waver? Join his long, arduous journey.
